As soon as he thought of this, he felt a chill in his heart. In the eyes of their master, was the Volcanic Flare Stone more important than them? Was he not afraid of them being unable to return?
He recalled that he didn’t let his father at home know about this trip. If he died, his parents would not be able to accept it. Among the six of them, only the junior sister mentioned the Volcanic Forest to her father. The other families did not know about it at all.
Sage Hun Yuan, who was still looking for Zhuo Junyue and Fengjiu, heard this, he frowned and glanced at him. When his gaze landed on Fan Yixiu’s arm, he scolded. “Since you don’t know anything, why did you dare to enter this Volcano Forest? Your master asked you to die and you really came here. Each one of you is brainless indeed.”
When they were scolded severely by Sage Hun Yuan, not only Fan Yixiu but also the Chai clan bowed their heads and dared not speak. They really did not think carefully, especially Second Master Chai. He could not help but regret it at this time. If he had known, he would not have brought them here to gain experience. If all the members of the family died here, even if he came back alive, he wouldn’t be able to absolve himself from blame.
In the end, he was too confident. He thought that he was an immortal strong exponent and so he could take his clan members into the Volcano Forest to gain experience. But, he didn’t expect to meet dangers at every turn.
At this time, the physician who looked after the Chai clan shook his head after examining the injuries of those from the Chai Clan. He told Second Master Chai, “Second Master, there seems to be nothing wrong now, just some skin injuries. I have asked them to take some medicine after treating the wound, but I just don’t know …”
He didn’t know if there would be other symptoms next. Especially, when he saw that Sage Hun Yuan didn’t say much, he felt uncertain in his heart. However, at present, he couldn’t find anything during the examination.
“Immortal Lord, please tell us what will happen when one is bitten by man-eating ants? So we can be prepared.” Second Master Chai implored. He had an ominous premonition. If the bite only resulted in skin trauma, Immortal Lord Hun Yuan’s face shouldn’t have looked so unsightly.
“Senior Uncle.” Fan Yixiu called out, looking at him with anxiety.
All of the people around, whether bitten by man-eating ants or uninjured, directed their gaze towards Sage Hun Yuan.
When he saw everyone was looking at him, Sage Hun Yuan snorted and said angrily, “What are you looking at me for? The old man, I, don’t have any medical skills! Why do you think the man-eating ants are listed as the five poisons of the Volcano? Of course, it’s because of its poison!”
“However, there are no signs of poisoning in the people who have been bitten.” The Chai family’s physician said doubtfully. He really didn’t detect any toxins. How could it be because of the poison of man-eating ants?
“Just because you didn’t detect it doesn’t mean it’s not. Do you think it’s an ordinary poison? Ordinary poison will be alright by taking a few antidote pills. But, this is the poison of man-eating ants, that is its poisonous fire! At present, the wound has not worsened, the poisonous fire has not attacked the heart, so you do not feel anything. But soon, if you are poisoned, it will take effect in about the time it took a column of incense to burn. Then, the poisonous fire will attack the heart. Even the Daoist Immortal will not be able to save.”
When they heard this, those who had been bitten by the man-eating ants turned pale and their eyes showed despair. “It’s over. It’s over this time. We’re dead.”
“Immortal Lord, you must have a solution, right? You must be able to think of a way.”
